Virtual Reality Grand Tour Application of the UENR campus

Project Description
Supervisor

This project focuses on developing a Virtual Reality (VR) navigation system for the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR). The VR application is developed to help new students, staff, and visitors easily navigate the campus by offering an immersive and interactive experience, by using 3D models that simulates the campus layout, thus users can explore the campus buildings, landmarks, and pathways. This improves their spatial awareness. The project was tested on different user groups, and the results indicate a significant improvement in users' navigation confidence and reduced stress compared to traditional map-based methods.

Mobile App Development: Mobile App Development research in Computer Science and Information Technology focuses on the design, development, and optimization of software applications for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. This area covers a wide range of topics, including user interface design, cross-platform development, mobile operating systems, performance optimization, and security. One key aspect of research in this area is the development of efficient algorithms and frameworks that enable seamless cross-platform compatibility. Researchers explore ways to create apps that function smoothly on multiple operating systems, such as Android and iOS, using a single codebase, reducing development time and costs. This is often achieved through the use of frameworks like React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin. User experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design are critical components of mobile app development research. Scholars in this field investigate how to create intuitive, responsive, and engaging interfaces that improve usability and enhance the overall user experience. This includes studying interaction patterns, accessibility, and how users interact with mobile apps across different devices and environments.

In general, the main objective of this project, is to provide a tool that would allow student, staff, and visitor alike to have a better spatial awareness of the campus facilities through virtual tours.
